This flock of wild turkeys were across the highway last week. When I went out they flew to the trees in the distance about 100 yards. Photo taken from our deck.

They also perch in the trees at night.

Wait a cotton-pickin’ minute. I thought Les Nesman learned that Turkeys couldn’t fly?

Cool!

I’ve only one chicken left from 3 years ago - a little red hen. And I MEAN little! About the size of a Robin.

The other 5 just... VANISHED!

Still have two white ducks from a year ago and my 2 mallards and 2 Blue ducks from this year never figgered out how to fly.

(Or else they’re just lazy welfare moochers that squawk loudly for me to bring them more food!)

wild one's can fly pretty good, domestic one's not so good. Had one of my pens for a tom and 3 hens only a regular wire fence, they never got out, but had a wild tom fly into the area and get into a bloody fight with my male. I was raising Royal Palm turkeys plus meat turkeys. Hubby was not about to get in the pen to separate the tom's so he handed me a pair of leather gloves and told me to go get them apart. I obeyed like a good farmers wife, carried the wild one to the chicken coop and let him breed with a few other females I had in there. But when they get a hold on the waddles of the other turkey, they don't let go so easy. Hubby enjoyed the show. the only way to carry a turkey is head down and by the legs, they will squawk at you but cannot hurt you...

That is a great flock you got visiting there, happy thanksgiving..:O)
